More quotes by Venus Williams
Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.
Venus Williams
Serena and I, we don't have anything to prove ... we still set a very high standard.
Venus Williams
I think business is the same as tennis. You have to have the love, that helps, or else it's just too much pressure to be able to keep up with.
Venus Williams
Rain is good for me. I feel like I achieve clarity actually when it rains. The longer I have to sit and wait, the clearer my game becomes to me.
Venus Williams
Sometimes, you know, once you pay your taxes and once you pay your expenses, once you've lived this life, things add up quickly. And it's easy to become a statistic. And that's something I've always tried to avoid, and I've always said, hey - not that it won't be me, that, hey, it could be me.
Venus Williams
I love to be busy, and when I'm off the court, I do things I love.
Venus Williams
It's a great feeling to have accomplished what I have, but I want to do more.
Venus Williams
I always like to win. But I'm the big sister. I want to make sure she has everything, even if I don't have anything. It's hard. I love her too much. That's what counts.
Venus Williams
Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.
Venus Williams
My first job is big sister and I take that very seriously.
Venus Williams
The big push for me is the Olympics this year. If I'm healthy, I'm not worried about my ranking. I think I can hit the ball. It's just about my body cooperating. It's about being able to play matches in a row. Right now, I'm not sure how much I can do with that, but we'll see.
Venus Williams
To be a well-rounded person and know what's going on in the world around you, to have a perspective outside of your sport, is important for every athlete. I'm blessed that our parents gave us that.
Venus Williams
I know I'm good at tennis. Other than that, everything else is a wild card. I'm a wild card.
Venus Williams
I truly believe that whoever feels the most confident is usually the one to win.
Venus Williams
I think nowadays it's so easy as an athlete to become a statistic whether or not you lose everything or having trouble or whatever it may be.
Venus Williams
I think I've been fortunate to be at the top of the game and in the media for years, and a lot of times, people want to be your friend when you're on the top. You know, there have been times when I've been injured and I never got a phone call. So that's the way it is.
Venus Williams
You know, growing up my - you know, I came from Compton, Calif., and, you know, it was a place where a lot of people did come out when a lot of people stayed. So I've been able to see the top and the bottom of life, and I think that balances you if you allow it to and if you remember where you came from.
Venus Williams
I LOVE RIHANNA. I LOVE THAT SHE IS HERSELF WITH NO APOLOGIES. HER SENSE OF STYLE AND SELF IS UNIQUE. I LOVE HOW SHE TRANSFORMS HERSELF WITH EACH ALBUM, EACH CAMPAIGN. ALWAYS EVOLVING. A TRUE ICON.
Venus Williams
'Oh and Oh' is a tennis term... It's a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.
Venus Williams
Definitely sport matures you, if you let it. It definitely makes you grow up because you have to work so hard that if you can't, then you probably aren't going to have the mental capacity to handle it all. That probably played a role in growing up a little faster than maybe other people.
